Integrate with high frequency radio email (POP3/SMTP/IMAP)

[c-w]

Some notes from Jason:

As far as I remember, it used PACTOR and some windows software that interfaced with the PACTOR modem. I think the windows software also created a basic email server that you could connect to with outlook or any other basic POP mail client.

Are you looking at using the PACTOR modems and radio as a point to point link? If so, it should be doable. I think the connection to the radio was serial and used basic ATA commands, or in other words, it behaved like a modem, so you could just use Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) in Linux.

Some notes from @nzola:

If you set up an endpoint to read/write email via pop3/smtp, I can set up the rest for the hf radio integration. I will use this free software SCSmail 2.2.0.0 from :https://www.p4dragon.com/en/Downloads.html . I have the complete setup here with the very first version of this software. I will just need to upgrade. I have attached the manual of the SCSmail here which gives you a very concise information how the software works from radio client -Internet - radio client.

Tasks:

• [ ] Add an endpoint to send pending emails from Lokole via SMTP.
• [ ] Add an endpoint to ingest new emails to Lokole via pop3.
